     | 4,009 views

    This sermon looks at the nature of true passion for Jesus which involves suffering. The doctrine of suffering is covered with the teaching of the Apostle Peter on suffering being referred to.

    (1) INTRODUCTION: The word used for ’suffer’used here in the Greek is ’pascho’ which is where we get the word ’passion’ from. Indeed, Christ’s suffering is often called ’The Passion’. We must ’arm ourselves with the same mind’ - that is a mind that joyfully endures suffering for the sake of God’s ...read more

    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,319 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    Jesus calls us to follow him, just like he called Peter, Andrew, James and John. What their call means about our call.

    Intro I have always had strong images of the calling by Jesus of Peter and Andrew, James and John. Perhaps it is through having been brought up in a town with a strong fishing history. Even though the heyday of the fish industry in St Ives was already well past when I was a child, there were many ...read more

    Mary of Magdala searches, Peter examines and makes sure, John believes, and Jesus finds all of them with the gift of a new life, hope, strength and orientation.
